At the time the film was made it was SOP not to use slings on rifles. I was a SADF soldier at that time. As said this was a very true to life depiction of the Border war. However many believe that this was a politically backed production. Personally I found it to be accurate up to the point where the guys became the hunted. This scenario was far fetched as far as I am concerned. One radio call and one usually had the whole sector 10 converging on a contact, not something the terrorists relished as one could deduct from the way they avoided contact with SADF and other security forces. For someone who was part of this history this movie brought back all the memories.
